JOB SUMMARY

Job Profile Summary

Responsible for oversight of leak detection/computational pipeline monitoring alarm management and adequate information components of the control room management program. Oversees evaluation of pipeline leak detection system alarms. Collaborates with controllers control room supervision and the SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) department to document leak detection alarms causes and responses. Assists in coordination with technical services and SCADA departments to resolve instrumentation and system tuning to minimize false alarming while maintaining system sensitivity. Provides support on matters requiring immediate diagnostic response on critical system outages.

Develops and implements procedures and programs specifically Control Room Management (CRM) Training and Operator Qualification (OQ) program and Alarm Management Plan in compliance with the Department of Transportation (DOT)/Pipeline and Hazardous Material Safety Administration (PHMSA) regulations. Ensures compliance with regulations interprets and communicates existing and proposed regulations and requirements. Coordinates and facilitates preparation for audits. Analyzes and measures the effectiveness of leak detection and Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) applications. Develops and recommends business practices and procedures that focus on enhanced safety. Develops and contributes documentation for the Companys System Integrity Plan (SIP).

Assignments are received in the form of functional/departmental/regional objectives and goals. Consistently exercises independent judgement and applies knowledge/experience in area of expertise to determine the proper process by which to meet goals/objectives.
